A photograph of a ceremonial ritual under a pink and white draped canopy. In the centre, a seated figure in a deep maroon robe with a red and gold turban and heavy gold necklaces sits on a gilded throne with a golden backrest. A shirtless attendant in white dhoti with a red and green border and a rudraksha-style mala bends forward, holding a white cloth bundle toward the seated figure. Another shirtless man in a red turban and gold chain bows low before the throne, hands joined. Several white-clad priests and attendants stand in the background, and a gilded arch frames the scene.

Beside him a second man, bare-chested with a yellow shawl and white dhoti with a pink-and-gold border, leans forward holding the kalasha, which is covered in red, green and gold ornamentation with leaves on top. A gold lion-shaped figure stands by the throne and a folded red-orange cloth rests on the armrest. The setting suggests a ritual abhishekam or puja. The seated man shows a person cues: ornate gold necklaces, saffron clothing and a seated throne presence, described as a ritual figure in a ceremonial role.2015-09-17September 05 20172017-09-05 +1 copiesA temple ritual scene with gold-toned shrine decor and deity murti behind yellow and white marigold garlands.
